The educational exhibition ‘Let Me Be Myself’ - The Life Story of Anne Frank tells the story of Anne Frank and the Holocaust and it challenges the visitors to reflect on more general subjects like identity, prejudice and discrimination. The exhibition was launched officially in 2015 and since then it is the centre piece of the international outreach work of the Anne Frank House.

Historical Content

The historical part of ‘Let Me Be Myself’ enables visitors to identify with the personal story of Anne Frank. Large-size pictures show Anne’s happy early childhood in Frankfurt, followed by the immigration to Amsterdam. In a consequent manner the exhibition connects the personal story of the Frank family with the important historical events of that time: the rise of the national socialists, in Germany the isolation and discrimination of the Jewish population, eventually culminating into the Holocaust.
